You love the ocean as much as we do, and we can’t protect it without you.
At Ocean Conservancy, our advocacy for the global ocean is predicated on our commitment to ocean justice – which we define as the fair and equitable distribution of both the benefits of the ocean’s bounty and the burdens of its complex care.
Our Ocean Futures Initiative is working to understand the interactive effects of stressors like climate change and acidification on our ocean.
From our headquarters in Washington DC, we’re working to ensure that our ocean gets the funding and attention it requires.
For Florida’s ocean and coasts, this is an all-hands-on-deck moment. If we work together, there’s a lot that we can do to tackle these problems. It’s going to require action on all levels—from individual citizens to powerful policy makers in Tallahassee and Washington D.C. to local leaders in the cities and towns across the state.
We’re dedicated to working with indigenous communities, legislators, scientists and people like you to advocate for science-based solutions to protect this fragile ecosystem.
Smart ocean planning helps coastal communities to develop strong, sustainable local economies that can live alongside healthy ocean ecosystems and wildlife.
Our fish team is working to reduce overfishing, rebuild vulnerable fish populations and preserve fish populations.
We’re working on innovative solutions to reduce the amount of trash that ends up in our ocean, threatening ocean wildlife through ingestion and entanglement.
We’re working together
